“For me, learning material from the book made the experience easier — I was not just reading the subject, I also was getting hands-on experience. It was a great time learning a little bit of everything in the various classes I attended. The courses most definitely sharpened my skill set as well as taught me new techniques. It prepared me for the real world. A lot of the habits and practices from the classroom setting can be transferred to the professional level, and quite often I would tell myself, ‘Wow, I learned how to do that at school already.’ That makes me more effective and valuable to my employer.”
